OpenRSVP: accountless RSVPs with magic links.

FastAPI + SQLite powered RSVPs built around capability links. Operator-focused docs live here; guests and event owners should use the in-app /help page for end-user guidance.

Web app guide API for builders
Core principles
  • • Accountless capabilities via magic links
  • • Privacy-first: minimal fields, optional private RSVPs
  • • Ephemeral data with hourly decay and cleanup
  • • Channels for lightweight grouping (public or private)
  • • Bootstrap UI with a Catppuccin Latte palette

Philosophy

Why OpenRSVP stays accountless

Capability links keep friction low for organizers and guests. Tokens are the single source of truth—there are no usernames, passwords, or analytics tags.

  • Guests own their RSVP state; organizers can delete but never edit on their behalf.
  • Root admins provide visibility and decay control rather than impersonation powers.
  • Ephemeral storage is intentional: events decay and disappear without manual pruning.

Deployment

Single-container friendly

FastAPI, APScheduler, and SQLite live in one Docker image. Use openrsvp upgrade-container to rebuild, restart, and prune the dev container with a single command.

  • Dockerfile is based on ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:python3.12-bookworm-slim.
  • uv sync runs during build so the runtime image carries a ready-to-use virtualenv.
  • Mount ~/OpenRSVP/data (or any path) to persist SQLite data across rebuilds.
